Increasingly, corporations are finding that there are hidden costs associated with outsourcing to countries such as Pakistan and India, not to mention language, cultural and time zone barriers for effective customer service. In fact, some corporations before entering into the offshore outsourcing fray are considering a new business model as an alternative - rural sourcing.
Rural Sourcing is the model of taking call center and software support for a corporation to the rural regions of the US and taking advantage of the untapped pool of IT talent there. Partnerships between economic development agencies and institutes of higher learning bring high tech centers to cities like Abilene, Texas where those who would like a career in IT without the hassles of the big city can have the best of both worlds - pay and a slower paced lifestyle. The aforementioned barriers to successful customer service are also eliminated.
Outsourcing and offshoring are used interchangeably in public discourse despite important technical differences. Outsourcing involves contracting with a supplier, which may or may not involve some degree of offshoring. Offshoring is the transfer of an organizational function to another country, regardless of whether the work is outsourced or stays within the same corporation/company.
With increasing globalization of outsourcing companies, the distinction between outsourcing and offshoring will become less clear over time. This is evident in the increasing presence of Indian outsourcing companies in the US and UK. The globalization of outsourcing operating models has resulted in new terms such as nearshoring, noshoring, and rightshoring that reflect the changing mix of locations. This is seen in the opening of offices and operations centers by Indian companies in the U.S. and UK.
